Of course the classic sights in New York are important to see. But today I want to show you places and must do’s apart from the Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Moreover, I show you my shop discoveries which i made during my stay.

The Washington Square Park (in Manhattan) is perfect for relaxing and settling down in such a big city as New York. In the evening live music is played, people grab something to eat, sit together and watch the sunset.

The Grand Central Station (in Manhattan) is architectural and historical totally worth seeing. Moreover, inside the train station is the only Diptyque Store worldwide, which sells the New York candle. In my opinion the New York candle is the best souvenir ever; I mean who doesn’t want to have the smell of the city that never sleeps at home?

The Love Walls in East Village (in Manhattan) are also worth a visit. Especially for taking pictures, this location is a must!

Shopping in New York is an actual dream; you can get everything in every possible combination and variation at any time you want. I was totally surprised by the Department Store Century 21 (in Brooklyn & Manhattan). This outlet offers designer pieces and luxury items on massive sale. I bought myself Miu Miu sunnies, which were reduced from 350 dollars to 60 dollars. So girls – spend a day at Century 21 and find the best deals!

Another shop discovery is the American Two Shop (in Manhattan). They sell vintage clothes and accessories, which are presented in a nice way.

And one of my shop favorites is definitely Bulletin Broads (Brooklyn, but soon in Manhatten). This store sells super cool feminist inspired products. It’s like shopping an Instagram feed in real life -Can it get any better?

In Chinatown you can find of course Asian (especially Korean) beauty products. My all time favorite shop is The Saem (in Manhattan). As a newcomer in Korean beauty products they consult you very well. Another bonus: Makeup freshen is absolutely free there.

My two last shop discoveries are Anthropologie and Paper & Source (in whole New York). These shops have a quite similar concept, because stationery lovers can buy anything there. From calendars through note books, blocks, pencils up to wrapping paper and postcards, everything is presented.

If you want to make you inner child happy, go to Coney Island (in Brooklyn). Old and new carousels can be found there, typical American snacks are offered at the seafront and the giant extensive beach with the blue ocean invites for a refreshing swim.
